Education in Our Life 
Education plays a very important role in our life. It is one of the most valuable 
possessions a man can get in his life. During all the periods of human history education 
ranked high among people. Human progress mostly depended upon well-educated 
people. Self-education is very important for the development of human's talents. Only 
through self-education a person can become a harmonically developed personality. A 
person becomes a highly qualified specialist after getting some special education. And 
professionalism can be reached only through it. Even highly qualified specialists from 
time to time attend refresher courses to refresh their knowledge. We get our knowledge 
of this world and life through education. Many famous discoveries would have been 
impossible if people were not interested in learning something. Education develops 
different sides of human personality, reveals his abilities. Besides, it helps a person to 
understand himself, to choose the right way in this world. The civilized state differs 
from others in the fact that it pays much attention to the educational policy. John 
Kennedy said: "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in 
education". But it doesn't concern only one particular nation. We know that science and

art belong to the whole world. Before them the barriers of nationality disappear. So 
education brings people closer to each other, helps them to understand each other better.

Homework 
When a person is small, he of course goes to school there people get knowledge 
which is useful for nowadays world. Some pupils claim, that homework which teaches 
give us is necessary while other argue that teachers give us lots of homework and we 
have no time to do it properly. Let`s look upon this problem objectively. 
To begin with, teachers have to give students a lot of homework because there is a 
difference between the levels of school education and university entrance exams. They 
want the pupils to pass the university entrance exams well, so they have to catch up with 
the required knowledge. Moreover, students should do homework because following 
this way they revise the material and practice it at the same time. In addition, if you 
understand the home tasks you will be able to do the same tasks at school and get 
excellent 
mark. 
In contrast to this, if you have loads of homework you will have no free time. Because 
of this, you feel lack of communication. As a result, you can spoil relationship with your 
friends. What is more, you can have problems with your health especially connected 
with eyes and back. Furthermore, you have to go to bed very late and as a result you can 
be 
aggressive 
and 
nervous. 
To sum up, large homework has as many strong points as many weak points. To my 
mind, teachers should give us normal homework.
